A method is provided for mitigating fugitive methane emission, which includes scanning a plurality of facilities for fugitive methane emission using an airborne sensor, and classifying the plurality of facilities based on results of the scanning. Optionally, further inspection of at least one facility of the plurality of facilities can be performed to detect and locate fugitive methane emission based on the classifying. Optionally, at least one facility can be selectively repaired based on the further inspection in order to mitigate fugitive methane emission. In another aspect, a planning workflow is provided that employs a clustering method to define cluster data representing a set of facility clusters in a geographical region that are associated with a particular base. The cluster data can be processed to determine flight path data representing flight path segments or route that form a trip, wherein the trip originates at the particular base, travels to a sequence of facility clusters and scans each facility in each facility cluster, and returns back to the particular base, wherein the sequence of facility clusters of the trip corresponds to the set of facility clusters represented by the cluster data.
